HCB Annual Bookfair is back - starts Monday 16th to Friday 20th October

13th Oct 2023

Dear Parents,

                   It’s hard to believe, but it’s time for our Annual Bookfair. Our Book-fair will take place in the school assembly hall throughout next week. It will be open each morning and afternoon – please check the timetable below for the specific times for your child.

                                            As part of our 2023 Book-fair, the pupils’ Homework (Monday night) is to design a bookmark (and as always we would love it if you could help too). You may use any materials you like to make your bookmark – we can’t wait to see what designs you come up with. The bookmarks must be returned to school by Wednesday 18th October for display in the assembly hall, and so we can choose the winners. The lucky winner from each year-group will receive a book of their choice and the runners-up can pick a poster of their choice from this year’s Book-fair.

                       We look forward to seeing you at the Book-fair. Remember we get 60% of your total spend back in book vouchers, which we can use to purchase new novels or reading and story books for the school. We rely heavily on this to replenish and update our book collections.

Thanks for your help and support.    

                                                      Yours Gratefully,

                                                                    Mrs Reel and Mr Connolly
